Rosacea is a skin condition that commonly causes flushing in your face, making your blood vessels visible. Though more than 14 million Americans are affected by it, rosacea often varies from person to person. It can be exacerbated by a variety of influences, including your diet, stress levels, and even what the weather is like outside.
When your rosacea flares up, it can feel challenging to find a “glow up” option. But there are several ways Olansky Dermatology & Aesthetics may be able to help you treat your rosacea, and boost your skin’s natural radiance.
NewSurg Laser
NewSurg Laser treatment uses specific lasers with potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) crystal as the medium, which increases their ability to specifically target vascular skin lesions and keep surrounding tissue unharmed.
Usually performed in less than half an hour, with little recovery or downtime afterward, NewSurg treatment is likely only as uncomfortable as the mild snap of a rubber band against your skin. In just a few short sessions, the redness from your rosacea may fade completely away.
Laser Genesis
Olansky Dermatology also offers the Laser Genesis treatment, which is a non-ablative laser skin procedure. Rather than removing top skin layers, Laser Genesis stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of your skin, providing aesthetic benefits from the inside out.
Laser Genesis sessions require hardly any downtime, and last for about 45 minutes. Depending on the severity of your rosacea, and your desired outcomes, you may undergo a different number of treatments, but multiple sessions are recommended for the best results.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a “simple, safe, effective, and minimally invasive therapeutic technique,” particularly for dark skin types, according to a study from the Indian Dermatology Online Journal. In general, it is a highly effective method for combating overall signs of aging that may have affected your skin, including wrinkles and fine lines. As its name indicates, the procedure involves a special tool lined with micro needles, which make tiny perforations in the skin. As your skin heals, collagen and elastin production are stimulated, naturally regenerating the area.
Though there is not extensive research around microneedling as a specific treatment for rosacea, consultation with your dermatologist can help you determine if it could be a helpful option for you.
Blown Oxygen Facial
Another treatment that may help your skin recover from rosacea is a hydrating, nourishing blown oxygen facial. This treatment uses hyperbaric oxygen to deliver nutrients, hyaluronic acid, and other rejuvenating factors into the deeper layers of the skin, keeping it nourished and refreshed.
Glamour magazine attests that blown oxygen facials are a “favourite among celebs like JLo, Kim Kardashian, Naomi Campbell and Emma Stone,” and “helps give a dewy freshness that looks like you’ve given your skin an invigorating workout.” But they’re also therapeutic for conditions such as rosacea.
